See some faces, different races
Black and White, all lost their pride
Run in the alley, caught in the chases
Don't know why, have to hide in the night

So much hate, so much sorrow
I'm alone, I'm ready to fight
There's no hope, just waiting for tomorrow
Hoping to live, but living to die

Look at me now
It's just like I am dreaming
I never gave up
And I won't ever give in
Look at me now
I've conquered my demons
No I'll never stop
Yeah I am playing to win

Look at me now, I'm lost in the shadows
In the shadows, I'm drifting away
Look at me now, my life is so shallow
It's so shallow but I'm breaking away 

Look at me now
It's just like I am dreaming
I never gave up
And I won't ever give in
Look at me now
I've conquered my demons
No I'll never stop
Yeah I am playing to win

I wanna be a star
But they tried to put me down
I wanna be a star
So I have to be strong
I wanna be a star
But they kept fighting me down
I wanna be a star
So I have to carry on
Carry on
Carry on

Look at me now
It's just like I am dreaming
I never gave up
And I won't ever give in
Look at me now
I've conquered my demons
No I'll never stop
Yeah I am playing to win

Out on my own, had to make though choices
Thought I went up, but I kept falling down
Through the twilight zone, with vicious voices
Telling me to stop, but I kept going on

Look at me now
It's just like I am dreaming
I never gave up
And I won't ever give in
Look at me now
I've conquered my demons
No I'll never stop
Yeah I am playing to win
